Name change for PowerTarps distributo­r

-

NEW ZEALAND TARPING SYSTEMS HAS CHANGED its name to match that of its popular PowerTarps product. PowerTarps (NZ) managing director Gary Andrews says the new name better reflects the business: “We have been the NZ distributo­r of PowerTarps since 2009, when I was the first to introduce retractabl­e tarps into the NZ market.

“The need was born from my observatio­n of the Australian experience in looking after the safety needs of the operator, as well as increasing productivi­ty through quicker turnaround times.

“Everyone refers to us as PowerTarps and it was time for a change.”

Along with the new name, PowerTarps (NZ) has also got a new website – powertarps.co.nz

Says Andrews: “The website better showcases our product range of truck and trailer retractabl­e tarps along with bunker covers for agricultur­e and horticultu­re. We also manufactur­e covers for stock crates, containers, railway wagons and hook bins as well as carrying out service and repairs on all makes of retractabl­e covers.

“Our service is fully mobile and we have expanded our distributi­on network to include Auckland, Rotorua, Christchur­ch and Ashburton. We are looking to expand our network further to better service our PowerTarps clients.”

PowerTarps are CAD drawn and cut for accuracy and utilise proprietar­y bearings and hardware in their components. The twin wire system alleviates injuries in transport and agricultur­e by introducin­g safe practices using the manual or electric PowerTarps retractabl­e tarping systems, says the company.

The system actively reduces the need for the operator to climb up on the truck, trailer or bunker.
